Ubuntu – GNOME application doesn’t use the system input method

11.10chinesegnomeinput-method

I set my system input method to gcin with im-switcher.

But when I use some GNOME based application, such as gedit and gnome-terminal, my default input method is still Simple(i.e. I can type only English letter).

But in other applications, like Chrome, I can use gcin and everything works well.

Why does GNOME have a different input method setting? And how can I change it?

You need to enable IBus and select the method of input. Restart X-server or reboot.

Right click on the applications when opened ie: Gedit, to change input method.

Let me attach the windows options you should have: enter image description here enter image description here
